    ICD-10-CM Code For Injury Of Blood Vessels At Ankle And Foot Level: Group Overview

    The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) code group S95 includes traumatic injuries to arteries and veins at the ankle and foot level, such as lacerations, punctures, and traumatic occlusion or transection. These ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes are used to document acute vascular compromise, bleeding, and injury severity involving distal lower extremity blood vessels, capturing organ involvement and clinical complexity relevant to wound management and vascular repair. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-CM S95 group supports proper claim adjudication, complete clinical documentation, and appropriate reimbursement.

    ICD-10-CM S95: Injury Of Blood Vessels At Ankle And Foot Level Overview

    The ICD-10-CM S95 group covers traumatic injuries to blood vessels localized to the ankle and foot, including lacerations, punctures, and traumatic occlusions of arteries and veins. These diagnoses target the vascular structures of the distal lower extremity and their role in perfusion and wound healing. Accurate coding is important for clinical continuity, resource allocation, and appropriate reimbursement for vascular and wound care services.

    When to Use

    Use a code from this group when a patient has a documented traumatic injury specifically involving blood vessels at the ankle or foot, such as a laceration with active bleeding or an avulsion with vessel transection. Select the code that matches the documented vessel type, laterality, and any associated complications to reflect clinical severity and treatment needs.

    Typical Clinical Scenarios

    • An adult presenting to the emergency department after a fall from a ladder with open laceration and active bleeding over the dorsal foot and signs of compromised distal perfusion; vascular injury is suspected on exam with diminished pedal pulses and cool toes, prompting urgent imaging and surgical consultation. A traumatic, acute injury to vessels at the ankle/foot level is coded from this group to capture the initial encounter for treatment. Typical codes: S95.001A, S95.011A
    • An elderly patient with a history of peripheral arterial disease who develops progressive ischemia of the foot after a cast-related compression following ankle fracture repair; during a follow-up clinic visit there is new discoloration and decreased capillary refill requiring vascular assessment and non-emergent revascularization planning. This represents a subacute or delayed vascular injury/occlusion at the ankle/foot level complicating prior trauma or immobilization and is coded from this group to reflect the ongoing care encounter. Typical codes: S95.091D, S95.092D
    • A patient months after surgical repair of a complex ankle fracture returns with chronic pain, intermittent swelling, and an established arteriovenous fistula diagnosed by duplex and angiography as a late complication of prior vascular trauma; the visit documents routine follow-up and management of the sequelae. A code from this group is used to report the sequela (status post) or subsequent encounter for the vascular injury of the ankle/foot. Typical codes: S95.001S, S95.091S
